Chronic Sinusitis Management

Chronic sinusitis management involves a combination of approaches to reduce inflammation and clear sinus blockages. Treatment options include medications like nasal corticosteroids to decrease swelling, saline nasal sprays to rinse out irritants, and oral antibiotics if an infection is present. In addition, allergy management may help if allergies contribute to sinus issues. For persistent cases, procedures like drainage or surgery might be recommended to open blocked sinuses and improve airflow. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding irritants and maintaining good nasal hygiene, can also support recovery and prevent recurrence. A healthcare professional can tailor a plan to each individual's needs.
